"Good, good. If there's anything you need our help with, we will definitely help if we can."
Aaron knew that he must not easily offend Hades at this time, or the consequences could be very serious.
This president of the Student Union was indeed a person of shrewdness. His words were polite, as if the matter of him forcing the door to close did not exist. He immediately turned his face and kindly assured Hades.
Seeing Aaron like this, Hades could not fly into a rage.
As the saying went, one should not hit a smiling face.
On the surface, Aaron did not want to do anything to Hades, and Hades could not fly into a rage at this time.
But Hades remembered Aaron as a person. He must have a good mind, but such a mind could not be hidden in front of Hades.
Aaron also knew that Hades must have sensed something. When he was stared at from the very beginning, he had a feeling that he had been seen through.
But Aaron was very smart. He offered to help Hades, making it difficult for Hades to mention closing the gate.
Hades thought for a moment. "I want to know, how long has Julia left the school building? Is she in the cafeteria or has she left the campus?"
He still thought about Julia, the girl he loved.
Because many people had tried to rush out of the school last night and were eaten by zombies, he was not sure if Julia was among them.
There were too many zombies, so he wanted to know about Julia's situation.
"Julia?" Aaron recalled, "I remember now. Three days ago, Julia went to the cafeteria with a group of people. We know that there are some in the cafeteria and there is enough food there. But after the apocalypse, all the electronic devices are useless. So I sent Julia to communicate with the survivors in the cafeteria, hoping that they can give us some food."
"Did Julia come back after she went to the cafeteria?"
"No, she went to look for food, but she didn't come back. We have no news either, but she might still be in the cafeteria."
"I understand." Hades nodded, and then patted Aaron's shoulder heavily. "Thank you, I will remember you."
Hades's current strength was not to be taken lightly. This time, as Hades patted Aaron's shoulder, Aaron felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on him, directly forcing him to sit down.
Hades did not use his full strength. He only patted Aaron lightly. He knew that if he used his full strength, Aaron's entire arm would be broken.
He was not that cruel. This was just a warning to Aaron.
However, such strength still made Aaron feel a sharp twang of pain, as if his arm was indeed broken.
Although Aaron felt pain, he still smiled and asked, "Are you going to the cafeteria to look for Julia?"
"Yes, I will leave immediately."
"Well... can I ask you to stay? We need your protection here, or you can take us with you." Aaron also knew that if they continued to guard the school building, they would be attacked by zombies sooner or later.
They had no food or water. They could only hold on for two or three days at most. Without zombies, they would starve to death.
Hades was their only hope, because he could defeat so many zombies. Judging from the equipment on him, he must have searched the entire campus before coming here.
Although there were many zombies outside, Hades might be able to bring food to survive.
"I can take you away, but only after I find Julia."
"Thank you so much. I have one more request... that is, we don't have enough food and water. If you have extra food and water, can you give us some?"
Hades frowned. After all, he was alone and had limited things to carry. He gave some of the food in the backpack to Hayley and ate some himself. There seemed to be a lot.
However, there were more than thirty people in the school building. The food was only enough for one meal.
Hades's food could be enough for one person, but it was not enough for everyone.
However, seeing these hungry people, Hades could not bear to see them starve to death. Those people had already regarded Hades as their savior.
"I will give half of the food and clear a path downstairs. I will attract the attention of the zombies. You have to find an opportunity to leave the school building and find food in the supermarket. The food there should be enough for everyone..."
"Really, that's great!" Aaron said happily.
"But I have one condition," Hades said.
"Just say it."
"I will give you half of the food now, but you must listen to my orders. I will lead you to survive. Now, the outside world is a world of zombies. This world has become an ownerless land. There are a lot of food, supplies, weapons... these things no longer have owners. It's first come first serve."
"I understand." Aaron also knew the situation outside. He also hoped that a powerful person could lead everyone.
The world had already changed. Whether it was houses or money, the things that were produced in the original world now had no owners. Whoever could get them would get them!
This world would also return to its most primitive state, where the strong were respected!
Only the most powerful people were qualified to have everything!
"If I, as your leader, need you to listen to my orders, then from now on, you can not go against my words. I need to take half of the spoils of war, whether it be food or other things, and I will protect you."
When Hades made this condition, everyone was a little surprised. Wasn't this the same as the feudal lords in the past?
The lords provided protection to their subordinates, while the subordinates provided food to the Lords in exchange for protection.
As the modern era of freedom, this kind of simple treaty was difficult to accept.
Aaron quickly understood everything. He ignored the strange gazes of the others and knelt down on one knee like a knight. "I swear allegiance to you, Lord Hades!"
